Are you sure it can take the heat? ALthough most silvers
are based on either leafing or non leafing aluminum pigment which is extremely heat stable the base carrier in the paint might cause it to crack yellow or discolour.. I would seriously not use anything that isnt recommend for a high heat application. If you can find the right colour in high heat in the automotive section try the bbq paint area.
